1、 Topping purpose

The growth of potted pomegranate tree needs proper control, otherwise the crown is too large and the roots can not absorb enough water and nutrients, which will lead to its death. Therefore, it is necessary to limit its height by topping to ensure that its nutrient supply will not be particularly difficult

2、 Topping time

There is no definite time for topping the potted pomegranate tree, which is generally carried out according to the height of the plant. When the trunk grows to 15 cm, the terminal bud should be removed, which can promote the growth of lateral branches. When the lateral branch grows to 6cm, it should also be topped to control its size. If the flowerpot is larger and the place is more spacious, it can be made taller and wider

3、 Subsequent trim

Topping is to control the shape of the plant, make its branches grow more dispersed, and be able to receive light and ventilation. Therefore, the inner bore branches in the middle should be cut off to avoid too dense branches and leaves, so that the sun cannot shine inside. Cut off excess branches before flowering to ensure that nutrients are supplied to specific places

4、 Water and fertilizer management

After topping the trunk, appropriate watering and fertilization should be carried out to promote the growth and development of lateral branches. After topping the side branches, do not increase water and fertilizer, so as not to make the branches too dense and hinder ventilation and light transmission
